Because once again, someone seems to think gamergirls who like to get their kit off is worth a good slut-shaming:

…In this parody, the role of the “slut” will be played by Renne in just her bra (what a dirty slut), and the role of the “gamergirl”* will be played by Renne with a top on, (because we all know only dirty sluts get their skin out). 

* Please note: Your inner monologue may vary. Also these pictures are terrible, yes I know.

Ping Pong Diplomacy

President Richard Nixon’s trip to China in 1972 ended 25 years of isolation between the U.S. and the People’s Republic of China. During the week of February 21-29, the President traveled to Beijing, Hangzhou, and Shanghai - thawing relations with a country that had long been closed to the West.

Forty years later, Our Presidents will be revisiting the iconic events of Nixon in China.  Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes details about  this landmark trip.

Issued by President Franklin Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, this order authorized the evacuation of all persons deemed a threat to national security from the West Coast to relocation centers further inland. In the next 6 months, over 100,000 men, women, and children of Japanese ancestry were moved to assembly centers. They were then evacuated to and confined in isolated, fenced, and guarded relocation centers, known as internment camps.

The U.S. Government would eventually be compelled to compensate surviving internees for their treatment in 1988.
